Inventor: KAWAHARA SHINICHI
IPC: G03G21/00
Filed: 2003-04-22
Abstract: A cleaning device (5) for cleaning an image carrier (2) by
removing toner and other residues left thereon
includes a brush (5B) having tips, which
contact the surface of the image carrier (2), provided with
a loop configuration and a contact pressure of 50 g/cm 2 .
A toner collecting space (5D) is located at a position adjacent
to the brush (5B) and at which the tips of the brush contacted
the surface of the image carrier (2) arrive in accordance with
the movement of the brush (5B). A part of the toner present in the
toner collecting space (5D) can deposit on the tips of the brush (5B),
thereby avoiding triboelectric charging and irregular charge
distribution on the image carrier (2) due to direct contact of the brush
(5B) and the image carrier (2) in the case of the low amount of toner or
residues to be removed.

Abstract: A mobile communication system and a method for
connecting a remote workstation to a data network
via a mobile communication network. The invention
allows a remote workstation (3, 4) to be
connected more flexibly over the radio path by
providing a special interconnecting computer (19)
in conjunction with the mobile exchange (10, 15)
for extending the connection to a destination
data network (24). The interconnecting computer
(19) thus acts as a bus between the remote
workstation using the mobile communication
network and its home data network, simulates the
operation of the remote workstation towards the
data network (24), and takes care of the real
remote workstation (3, 4), which is behind the
radio path. A data connection established over
the radio path can be released so as to minimize
the air time when the radio path is not needed
for telecommunication, but the interconnecting
computer (19) keeps the extended connection
active towards the data network.
